was losing enrollment His charge was to make the program grow or sign its death certificate I began researching all aspects of tourism for a program that would use our teaching resources, appeal to our students, and give them some leverage in the job market after graduation Our research discovered a subset of tourism called meetings, events, conventions, and expositions At that time this industry was contributing $32.5 billion to the gross national product, but there appeared to be no formal educational path for young people wishing to enter the industry On closer examination we discovered that most of the people working in the industry had gravitated to it by chance Some of the most influential people in the industry at that time had been assigned the task of producing great events and outstanding meetings by a boss who did not want to it himself We were amazed at the size of the budgets for many of these events In some cases they exceeded the annual budgets of small companies and divisions of large firms With little or no formal training available, these people produced creative and memorable events Over time, and with much trial and error, a recognizable profession gradually took shape We pondered, “Was everything they did intuitive?” Many of the profession’s leading practitioners were surveyed to determine what they considered to be their educational weaknesses and what subjects they wish they had studied in school The information we collected helped us to define our curriculum As we grew closer to the launch of our program, we discovered two things: ■ ■ Most professionals thought that we were embarking on a fool’s journey This was one profession that could not be taught in a classroom There were no books that could be used in the classroom to teach these courses Times have changed Meetings, exhibitions, events, and conventions (MEEC) courses now appear in the curriculum of more than 200 universities worldwide In fact, postgraduate course work in these fields is taught at many of the world’s leading universities It is quite common for ix ... competencies addressed herein is based on the Tourism Standards of Western
